Top Chef alum Dale Talde's restaurant Talde, in Park Slope, Brooklyn is serving some fabulous Asian-American fare. I stopped in recently and loved everything I had.

An appetizer of Pretzel Pork & Chive Dumplings with a spicy mustard ($8), could be the best potstickers I've had. Truly ingenious. I wish they would sell these babies in the frozen section of my local supermarket. Order them.
